Title: Hello from a 4 year member
Post by: chrisJDM on December 29, 2008, 10:46:46 AM
Im bored at work and cant remember if i have actually ever introduced myself on here.  Ive now been on here for about 4 years and owned my FD for about the same amount of time.

Im 25 and am married with a 10 month old little girl.  I work in Bath, Somerset as a IT Support Technician and live near Glastonbury.

I bought my FD 4 years ago and it started out as a high mileage standard example with poor bodywork.  It cost me £3800 which was pretty cheap at the time, ive spent quite alot of money on it over the 4 years ive had it and its had a rebuilt and streetported engine, hks t04r single tubby with all the supporting mods, the front bumper has gone back to standard from a badly damaged apexi item, rota gtr alloys, feed skirts etc.

I have been to 3 rotorstocks, this year i went but not in the rx7, the year before i didnt go at all and the two years before that i went in the rx7.

Aswell as being a member here i also run Somerset Japanese Car Club (//www.sj-cc.net) which has now been running for around a year and half and has a active forum and we have also been to a couple shows this year.

Heres a few piccies

me and my little girl

As I think I said over on the site, dude, I love the way the front-mount IC gives your car a big, cheesy grin. Looks like a very self-satisfied shark! :D

....and the best colour, too....
